Luna and the Lie

Updated review - I definitely appreciate it more, and I have a soft spot for Rip even though he was a bit of a meanie in the beginning.

He is confusing, but he quietly loved her and I just went to hug them both.

Not my favourite MZ book, but still enjoyable.

This was like the slowest of slow burns. We didn't get to them getting together until like the 90% mark.

Luna's story is just so sad. And Rip... like I wanted to like him but he just was a dumb boy man. Even at 41, like just seemed dumb and immature. He never did anything wrong per-say, but he also didn't do much right. He had such an attitude to the co-owner of the business (later we find out it's his dad). I get the tension between the two but he was always so rude.

And the hospital? Again, I get that tension was high but there was no need to take it out on Luna.

And how he like... crashed her dates because he liked her but couldn't say it? Sure, break up her dates and be the alpha male here but speak up. It took him so long to grow a pair and say he liked Luna. He was confusing the poor girl with his emotional whiplash.

Luna tries so hard to stay positive and not hold grudges - good for her. She deserves better. Drama with her past and her family, girl can't catch a break.
